Replacing Radiator Support And Headlight Mountings

[Frosty]

Hey Peeps,

having taking the front end of my 32 apart i have found that on both sides the radiator support and headlight mounts are completly effed. see pic attached

anyway anyone replaced these with factory before? other options?

basically looking for what you do in this instance....

Thanks

i reckon your best option is to replace the suppot panel with a fresh one, ive done it with a 31 sedan and its not that difficult, once i had drilled thru the spot welds i was able to pull the inner skirts forward to where they used to be,the support panel cost me around $450 from nissan which was a better option for me than using a secondhand one

i rang a mobile welder to weld the thing on to the car(all work done in my backyard)

Thanks for the info guys, ill check around for a 2nd hand if not then off to nissan..

Try JSAI. I'm in need of a new support and they have one for my 34. If you get it from Nissan, your looking at a few good grands. Google JS Auto Imports. I'd link you but i'm on my phone. If they don't have, head to a skyline wrecker and get a second hand.

another option is to get a nose cut off ebay , highly doubt that a new rad support would be costing in the thousands
